Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Barry County Christian). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Marshall Academy Griffons 93-43. The Eagles have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won five games by 25 points or more this season.
When it comes to explaining why Marshall Academy lost, don't look at Oscar Melendez. Despite the final result, he posted nine points and eight boards. That's the most rebounds Melendez has posted since back in February of 2024. Jack Delaney also deserves some recognition as he posted his first block of the season.
